Shobu vs Kokujo

by Influence113

This is a duel I created between Shobu and Kokujo, whose soul was taken over by Zakira. It takes place during Duel Masters charge. I didn't include cross gears because it would have made it a little too complicated, so let's just say they didn't exist at the time. It's an epic duel, I recommend you read it!

1. Chapter 1: Bring Back Kokujo!

Chapter 1 - Bring back Kokujo!

Shobu and Kokujo stand in a huge arena in the sky. Kokujo's eyes suddenly turn red as he starts maniacally laughing.

"This isn't Kokujo…" Shobu whispers in his head. He then hears the voice of Zakira through Kokujo.

"Kirifuda, you fool. You have no idea what monstrosity Kokujo's deck holds!" Kokujo shouts.

Shobu clenches his teeth. "Then let's go, Zakira!" He pulls his deck out of his case, then all a sudden, the ground begins to shake as a stone structure begins to rise in front of them both. The duel has started.

"Shields deploy!" They both simultaneously declare as five shields light up above the structures where their decks are placed.

"I will give you the pleasure of being the first to go, but no matter, you won't be winning this duel or saving anyone, especially Kokujo." Kokujo says.

TURN 1 - SHOBU

Shobu looks down at his cards, then places a fire card in his mana zone from his hand. (Shobu 4 hand, 1 mana)

He then ends his turn. "Your move, Kokujo."

Kokujo begins to laugh again. "You fool, Kokujo is no longer here!" He screams.

Shobu's face grimaces and he retaliates. "Fight it Kokujo, I know part of you is still there!"

Kokujo smirks and starts his turn.

TURN 2 - KOKUJO

Kokujo draws a card from his deck, looking at his hand. (Kokujo 6 hand) He places a darkness card in his mana zone. (5 hand, 1 mana)

"Your death begins with Marrow Ooze, the Twister!" He says, as he taps a mana card and places it into the battle zone from his hand. (4 hand, 1 battle zone) Marrow Ooze begins to animate into the stadium. "Now that's it." He says, ending his turn.

TURN 3 - SHOBU

Shobu draws a card. (5 hand) He looks at his hand, then places a nature card into his mana zone. (4 hand, 2 mana) "I cast faerie life, adding the top card of my deck to my mana zone!" (3 hand, 3 mana)

He then ends his turn.

TURN 4 - KOKUJO

Kokujo draws a card. (5 hand) He places a darkness card into his mana zone. (4 hand, 2 mana) "I now summon you, Bloody Squito!" Bloody Squito slowly comes alive, standing next to Marrow Ooze. (3 hand, 2 battle zone)

He ends his turn.

TURN 5 - SHOBU

Shobu draws a card. (4 hand) He analyzes his cards, then places a card in his mana zone. (3 hand, 4 mana) "Cocco Lupia, go!" He shouts, as the card lights up with Cocco Lupia pixelating into the battle zone. (2 hand, 1 battle zone) Shobu ends his turn.

TURN 6 - KOKUJO

Kokujo draws a card. (4 hand) He charges mana. (3 hand, 3 mana) "I bring forth once again, Bloody Squito!" He declares, as he places it into the battle zone. (2 hand, 3 battle zone) Shobu becomes puzzled, wondering what he has three blockers for. Nonetheless, Kokujo's turn is over.

TURN 7 - SHOBU

Shobu looks at his deck and draws a card. (3 hand) He grins, seeing he drew Terradragon Regarion. He charges mana. (2 hand, 5 mana) "I summon Gonta, The Warrior Savage!" Gonta appears in the battle zone. (1 hand, 2 battle zone) "Since Cocco Lupia's effect allows me to summon my dragons for 2 less mana, I can also summon Terradragon Regarion!" (0 hand, 3 battle zone) Regarion appears, his three creatures standing side by side.

"I can attack with Cocco Lupia, but if I draw a dragon next turn I'll be able to summon it for cheaper mana. If I attack now, Kokujo will just block and I'll lose Lupia. I'll go on the offense next turn!" Shobu thinks to himself, ending his turn.

TURN 8 - KOKUJO

Kokujo draws a card from his deck. (3 hand) He places a card into his mana zone. (2 hand, 4 mana)

He smirks. "Now how about I get things started!" He quickly places Daedelos, General of Fury into the battle zone. (1 hand, 4 battle zone) Shobu becomes startled, as Kokujo just placed an 11000 power double breaker onto the battle zone this early in the game. Daedalos makes a huge roar upon materializing into the battle zone.

"So that's why he summoned all those extra creatures prior to Daedelos, because it can't attack without sacrificing a creature." Shobu whispers to himself. "Ughh.. this is bad. I guess I'll just have to get rid of his blockers then."

Kokujo's turn is over.

TURN 9 - SHOBU

Shobu draws a card. (1 hand) He appears slightly disappointed as it wasn't a dragon, but it's still useful. He casts the card, Geo Bronze Magic, a nature spell that costs 3 mana, allowing him to add the top card of his deck to his mana zone. He does so. (0 hand, 6 mana) It also allows him to draw a card from his deck since the card he placed into his mana zone was a fire card. (1 hand) He grins, drawing another Geo Bronze Magic. "And now I cast Geo Bronze Magic once again!" He shouts, placing a fire card in his mana zone, (0 hand, 7 mana) also allowing him to draw another card.

He draws Bolmeteus Samurai Dragon (1 hand). However, since he used all his mana, he can't summon it this turn.

"Let's get it!" Shobu shouts, as he taps Cocco Lupia to attack. Cocco Lupia launches itself at Kokujo's shields, but Kokujo quickly taps Marrow Ooze to block. Marrow Ooze starts going for Lupia, and then makes a huge impact as both creatures disappear from the battle zone and into their player's graveyard. (kokujo 3 battle zone, shobu 2 battle zone)

"Gonta, ike!" Shobu declares, tapping Gonta, The Warrior Savage. "I block once again with Bloody Squito!" Kokujo screams, tapping Bloody Squito to counter the attack. Both creatures are sent to the graveyard. (kokujo 2 battle zone, shobu 1 battle zone)

"Now it's your turn Terradragon Regarion, double break his shields!" Terradragon Regarion comes forward and swipes 2 of Kokujo's shields. He decided not to block with his remaining Bloody Squito since he needs to keep more creatures in the battle zone to attack with Daedalos, and he needs cards in his hand as well. The shields shatter, materializing into Kokujo's hand. (kokujo 3 hand, 3 shields)

"Make your move, Kokujo." Shobu firmly says, ending his turn

TURN 10 - KOKUJO

Kokujo draws a card from his deck. (4 hand) He charges darkness mana (3 hand, 5 mana) and casts Corpse Charger, (2 hand) allowing him to return a darkness creature from his graveyard to his hand.

"I bring back Marrow Ooze!" He says, as the card makes a dark glow rising from his graveyard and into his hand. (3 hand) Since Corpse Charger is a charger, it is sent to his mana zone tapped after it's cast instead of his graveyard, with Kokujo now having 6 mana.

He taps his remaining untapped mana card to summon the Marrow Ooze that he just returned. (2 hand, 3 battle zone)

"Daedelos will make your dragon pay!" Kokujo screams while clenching his fist. He taps Daedelos, sending Bloody Squito to the graveyard to attack Terradragon Regarion with Daedelos. Regarion has fallen, as it is now sent to Shobu's graveyard. (kokujo 2 battle zone, shobu 0 battle zone)

Kokujo laughs.

Shobu starts to worry. He glances at the card in his hand, Bolmeteus Samurai Dragon. "This card isn't strong enough to destroy Daedelos.. I have to come up with something." He whispers to himself.

Kokujo ends his turn.

TURN 11 - SHOBU

Shobu stares at his deck, hoping to draw a card to turn the game around. He draws, looking at the card and seeing it's Uberdragon Bajula! (2 hand) He sighs with relief, keeping Bajula in his hand and tapping 6 mana to summon Bolmeteus Samurai Dragon (1 hand, 1 battle zone). It flys around the arena before landing itself onto the battle zone.

"Looks like the real Kaijudo match has just started…" Kokujo says with an evil grin.
